Bug#746877: symbol files in libsfml?

[James Cowgill]

Hi,

Currently libsfml FTBFS in gcc 4.9 due to some small symbol changes. All
the symbol changes are added/removed weak symbols for (possibly) inlined
functions so nothing has changed which should break the ABI.

I could update the symbols again (twice since I need the build logs for
the other arches as the symbols are slightly different), or I could
remove the symbols files. I just don't see that it's worth maintaining
these files for a this library, especially since it looks like the next
version of SFML (2.2) is going to break the ABI anyway.

This thread is interesting:

Can / should I remove the symbol files from libsfml?

Thanks,
James
